The Tech Awards is an international awards program that honors innovators from around the world who are applying technology to benefit humanity.
GeoGebra is open-source software available for free through the Web that enables users to dynamically experiment with mathematical concepts.
Technology can play an important role in learning mathematics. Teachers and students alike often depend on interactive technology to learn about and experiment with math.
The dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra addresses all levels of education by joining arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and calculus. It features a very clean, easy-to-use interface. Since the tool is open source, a large user community has emerged to create interactive online materials for specific subject matters or a particular educational level. Having been translated into over 45 languages, it continues to expand to offer equal information access across the globe.”
